Chief Minister Kamal Nath has described order passed by Supreme Court in the case of Uttarakhand State Vs Mukesh Kumar on February 07, 2020 as surprising and contrary to the spirit of the Constitution.
Kamal Nath said the denial of BJP ruled Uttarakhand State in not providing reservation in direct recruitment and promotion to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, exposes the double standards used by BJP and its true face among masses.
The action by BJP Government is reflection of reality they have towards Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
The report by special committee constituted by Uttarakhand Government was also ignored in the case which had clearly stated that there is not enough representation of scheduled castes and tribes in the Government service in the State.
Despite the fact BJP Government opposed the reservation in the Supreme Court.
The working and thinking of BJP is against the interests of Dalit and tribals as it is constantly taking decisions against the interests of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes and is working against the sentiments of the Constitution.
In the constitution, Baba Saheb Ambedkar has given the right of reservation to strengthen the weaker sections socially, economically and link them to the mainstream of society.
The Congress party will not allow these provisions to be abolished under any circumstances. The Congress is committed to continue the reservation system.
The CM made it clear that the Madhya Pradesh Government is in favor of providing reservation in Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and for this they would present their support strongly.
